Item Description

The Dress for Success Fund will support clients going on job interviews with a new suit or dress.
 
 
The goal is to provide professional clothes to our clients with mental retardation, developmental disabilities and mental illness who are in the Skills, Training and Employment program (STEP) and are now prepared to transition into interviewing.
 
Most of our clients have never been on an interview and need the extra confidence booster of knowing they are dressed professionally.  Professional clothing would  help our clients move into meaningful employment,  thus giving them greater self-sufficiency.
 
-A $100 donation, would provide an adult with disabilities, in pursuit of a job with: A full suit, dress shirt, tie, belt and dress shoes

Item Special Note

About the BCS Neighbor to Neighbor Fund: BCS works within under-resourced neighborhoods that have not benefited from the Brooklyn resurgence.  For many of the clients we serve, even minor emergencies can be devastating to providing basic client essentials for their families.  We work with families who struggle to provide formula and diapers for their babies, food and clothing for their homes, and school uniforms and supplies for their children. Unforeseen personal crises, changes in public assistance and natural disasters can destroy a family. With limited resources, BCS strives to be that lifeline for clients on the edge of crises.  Our hope is to gain reliable financial support to rapidly respond to the needs of ONE Brooklyn Community.

“Bidding” on a Neighbor to Neighbor item is considered a donation directly to benefit a certain program, activity, grant or class. All amounts for Neighbor to Neighbor purchases are tax deductible donations to Brooklyn Community Services.  You will receive a tax receipt for your donation following the close of the auction.
